Seeing Stars
Surprisingly, I’m actually a little bit excited about the NHL All-Star Game this year (6 PM Sunday, Versus; SuperSkills competition 7 PM Saturday). Maybe it’s because, for once, the league is actually promoting a Carolina Hurricane — Eric Staal is growing into not just the face of the team that the Canes have expected him to be since Ron Francis left, but a recognizable star.
Or maybe it’s just because I bought an HDTV and Comcast finally gave us Versus and CSN in HD. Because hockey in HD is so awesome that I’ve voluntarily watched the Washington Capitals on several occasions in the past month, because they were available in HD and the Center Ice games were not. And that’s a big step.
